Playwright Notes: The Red Letter Plays

Suzan-Lori Parks on The Red Letter Plays - Fucking A and In the Blood:

It was as if they were twins in the womb of my consciousness, twins in my mind. And one couldn't get out because they were entangled together. So when "In the Blood" came out easily, then "Fucking A" was very easy to write. They're sisters, these two plays. Both asking that question that I seem to keep asking in my work: "Who are you to me?" And out of that questioning, hopefully, will come an understanding.
